Re: Qualcom (and other) Android CVE IDs

["Adinolfi, Daniel R" <dadinolfi@mitre.org>]

Folks,

 

The CNA Coordinator (hi!) is responsible for working with CNAs and improving their performance within CVE, and I do regularly reach out to CNAs when there are problems or questions regarding their submissions or lack thereof. (Our Content Team also regularly pushes back on submissions that look off when they are submitted, but it is difficult to know when CVE IDs are made public if our team isn't notified directly or when a CVE IDs is assigned and never made public.)

 

Capturing what we can in the metrics and sharing those with the Board and with the CNAs will help, and we continue to work on automation techniques and documentation to help get CNAs into the habit of notifying us as they go public with their assignments. As we iterate over the process in the future, we should be able to weed out CNAs that repeatedly make assignments that never go public or make assignments that are public but are never shared with the CVE Team or not well described.

I suppose one of the charts in the deck we reviewed in the past few weeks addresses this problem where number of CVEs is reserved but not 'published.'

If Qualcomm (and others) are publishing the CVEs without submitting the descriptions back to Mitre, shouldn't someone be reaching out to them to 'remind' them of the process?

Or would this be a full time job for someone?

Good to see CVE used to identify vulnerabilities:

  

https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2017-06-01#qualcomm-close

d-source-components

but there's little or no information about any of these vulnerabilities.  Lots of RESERVED.

This touches on the use of CVE for "internal" finds.  There's value in having a public label, but the lack of even summary information (minimal CVE entry) is problematic.

Also the thread on oss-sec:

With some interesting notes like:

I don't know about apple itself but in the clusterfuzz reports I see 4 public bugs about sqlite. However they have a very small (2 days) range of regression, i.e. a commit made in those two days causes the problem.

I didn't check, but I suspect they didn't go in any release.

 

FTR, the time you are seeing in the regression range is UTC:

https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz/issues/563

 

At this point I don't know if apple referer to those issues or the mentioned issues are not public.

Basically these issues have CVE's but I (nor anyone else really) has any clue what is actually affected and if we need to deal with it or not.

Kind of defeats the point :P.
